THE COURTS.
JUSTICE COURT.

Yesterday was a lively day III Judge
Walkers court. The case Of James Riley
was called. He was charged some days ago
with selling intoxicants and seemed to be
Mortified at the idea. 1t certainly il his es-
timation was untrue and all the inducements
extended for getting him to plead guilty and
take the usual dose of medicine were stoutly
spurned and he must first hear the evil
dence.
The case was tried before a jury and
several witnesses examined which took the
major portion of the day. When the evil
dence had been submitted the jury could not
arrive ct verdict for some hours. They
finally decided that Mr. Riley was guilty of
the charge
The court decided that a man who would
hold up as bold a front as the prisoner ard
put the state to SO much expense should be
given an extra dose. He read him the riot
act and closed filming him $500 and costs with
thirty days in jail He was marched accord
insly.
c. Cranshaw, who had some shotgun prac-
tice on Monday evening, was introduced to
Judge Walker and placed under bond Of
81 900. He raised the same and will await
the action of the district court.
There are some more joint cases on the
docket that will be given a hearing at an
early date.

CURB STONE BROKERS.

In meeting of so-called real estate agents
held night before last, in answer to an asser-
ton that real estate agents had made Wlch-
tia, Councilman Healy innocently remarked
that he had been laboring under the impress
sion that Wichita made good many real
estate men. He might just as truthfully
added that if all the real estate men in this
city, outside of probably dozen who origin
ally brought their own capital to operate
upon, should pick out the iveliest town In
Kansas and all move to said town and all go
to work for it they couldn't make Wichita.
The chances are they would all starve Ii
real estate men made Wichita then let US
vote bonds and get in thousand more-sal-
ary them. Such claims makes the
average business man tired. The
truth is the real estate men
who originally brought money here and il
vested and afterwards operated upon it
never make any such claim. Such men as
these have proved a powerful auxiliary to
the prosperity of the town-it was their
money and faith and work and not their
chin music, however, that proved so effect
i've. Upon the other hand if there is any
thing which threatens Wichita, to ever set
Wichita back a peg, it is the operation Of
real estate spectators and their wild prices
for wild lots in wild additions Some of
these real estate agents held a like meeting
less than a year ago for the purpose Of start
ing paper to down the EAGLE, which had
for fourteen years pat in all its earnings to
boom Wichita, and only because the paper
was trying to conserve the best interests OF
the town by warning people against a craze
at 2 time, too, when its editor was
for the general good. Ali toe men who were
thus intriguing to destroy the EAGLE could
not three years ago have raised enough
money combined to have secured a press
franchise or to have bought single press.
While Wichita boasts a number Of level
headed real estate dealers, men of brains and
capital; men who would, If necessary, come
forward with their thousands to help any
great enterprise, and while the EAGLE is
proud of the friendship Of these men, and is
acknowledge that they have done
and are doing their full share
in making Wichita the greatest
city in Kansas if not il the west, the spec
tacle, nevertheless, of set of men who are
afraid of fifty dollars year, and who yet
are claiming the credit OF having made
Wichita is to say the least amusing. Such
claim is unauthorized buncombe.
After stopping long enough to glance over
the foregoing we conclude we have hit the
bulls eye in pretty fair shape, especially
when it is remembered that the great ma or
ity Of men who composed the meeting were
new men to Wichita and that the men for
whom we intend these lines have no interest
in Wichita beyond possible commissions
which they hope to secure by Selling other
peoples property.

A LARGE BUILDING.

Mr.. MartinsOn some time ago decided to
erect brick building at the corner of Seneca
street and Chicago avenue. 1t will have a
front of 12j # and so feet deep. The plans
and specifications for the same are being
drawn by architects Proudfoot & Bird. The
foundation and wall will be made of suffici
ent strength to carry five stories. 1t is not
probable that over three stories with base
ment will he completed for some time. This
will cost over $4,000. The best of brick will
be used with stone trimmings. Each room
will be twenty-five feet wide, which gives
for the entire building five rooms. Four of
them viii be used foI store rooms while the
other will be occupied by bank The latter
will be placed on the corner.
Mr.. Martinson has already commenced ex
cavating lie will rush the work just as fast
as the weather permits. He hopes to have
it completed early in the spring. Already
offers have been made for renting the bust
ness rooms. This is but another pointer
about how much house room is in demand.
The upper stories will be divided into rooms
suited to Offices.
